Sonic Riders is a really fast pace game, because Sonic rides on a hover board called Extreme Gear.

The game only takes up 1 block of memory, which is nice. At the main menu the player can go to the game or to extras or options. In Extras the player can chose theater, audio room, gear gallery, and records. In the Options menu the player can chose audio settings, rumble settings, language settings, and game data.
In the game the player can chose normal race, story mode, mission mode, tag mode, survival mode, and shop. Normal Race is where the player can do a free race (1p-4p),Time Attack(1p only), and World Grand Prix(avaliable after story mode is complete). Story Mode is where the player can chose the story he/she wants to play. Mission Mode is where the player clears given missions one after another. Tag Mode is wherethe player partners up with the CPU or another player and share Air as the player compete in a race. Survival Mode is where the player compete under set rules. Shop is where the player can shop for more extreme gear to use by using the rings collected from races.

There are also three new characters, they are the following: Jet the Hawk, Wave the Swallow, and Storm the Albatross

The controls are simple to learn. The controls are the following:
The A button is Jump/Grind
The B/X button is Air boost/Attack rival
The L/R button is Brake/Air Slide(with left and right)
The L+R button is Exit turbulence/Tornado

The Control stick is the following:
Up is move foward/front flip(during trick action)
Down is move backward/back flip(during trick action)
Left and right is move sideways/steer/Sideways spin(during trick action)

This is a really fun and fast game, I would recommend this to anybody who likes Sonic the Hedgehog and his speed ways.

This game is worth your money!

I think this game is really cool because It's the sequel to Sonic Dx. Also, it has racecar themed levels but they are fun and cool. Also, I like it because you choose diffrent characters
and locations. And you'll even choose multiplayer modes like story mode or race mode. And there is so much stuff to look at
and it uses great graphics. They are not scary, however and you are simulating sonic races and adventure lands and this game has Special effects. Overall, it is definitly a must see for sonic and racecar fans. I'd reccomnd it to ages 4 and up, though
our 3 year old loved it. I love it, too!

DA BOMB

Does who says this game suck are @$$holes. You bulls**t. This rocks. The graphics are the best of all! Hey I know the amount of air you get by doing tricks is hard, but I'll list it for you. It's from lowest to highest.

Key: GD= good landing, BD= bad landing TCS= tilt the control Stick

Rank Air How to get:
C 20 Any amount of tricks but BD

R 30 Perform 1 trick and GD

H 40 Perform 3 tricks by TCS right
HH 45 Perform 2-3 tricks
S 50 Perform 3 tricks TCS Straight
SS 60 Perform 3-5 tricks
X 100 Perform 5+ tricks
As you can see, these are the trick ranking. So buy this game. It's the best. Those who rated 4-5, you're the best, those who rated it 1-3, you're jackas*es.

Have fun and hope you find this review helpful!

P.S Study the ranking chart
PP.S I hate part of the story mode

THIS GAME ROCKS!!! : )

Well, the Sonic Team has done it again!!!
This game was the best Sonic Game that I've ever played!!!
The graphics are awesome, especially the cutscenes, it looks SOOO cool!!!
Although it takes time to learn the controls, it is a very fun game. You may want to practice a lot before you play in the tournament mode, or if you want to play it right away, have a lot of patience. My tip is to restart automatically if the computer player is about to win. That way, you can bypass the losing.
Overall, if you like Tony Hawk games, then i would try out this game. But the game is meant for PATIENT people!!!

Spectacular!

This game is awesome it's the second best Sonic game I have. I'm still stuck on the last stage of the Hero story called Babylon Garden. It's where you have to beat this guy called Jet the hawk. This stage is very hard so unless you are very experienced at this game I would suggest doing some practice in normal race. In this game the best place to practice is Metal City the first stage in Hero story (besides that's the only stage I ever do any races in normal race). If you are a big fan of Sonic than you would love this game and the characters in it so buy it NOW!!!

Funny

I'd played this game for months and still can't put the controller down. My favorite part is when the player attacks another character and they lose rings. I attack mostly AiAi and Ulala. Unlock eggman** and get him to level three (60 rings) and then attack a opponant. He farts at them. I'M NOT KIDDING. The fart is green. They smell it and scatter their rings.I love to see rings scatter anywhere (especially in this game).

** Must finish Bablyon story to unlock eggman.

Review coming soon from me.

I knew I was taking a risk with this game, because of all the bad reviews, but what can I say. I thought it was pretty fun.

The game starts out the the Babylon Rogues stealing a Chaos Emerald. Sonic tries to stop them by using Extreme Gear (hover board), but he isn't that expierienced with the gear, so they get away. When he hears they're entering a racing tournament, he enters to try to stop them.
Now, on to the game. You start out each race on your extreme gear. There is a tube on the side that determines how much you can dash. A dash gives you a momentary rush of speed. If you keep dashing, the meter will go out, and you will run on foot. There are 3 ways to refill the tube. First is by collecting rings, which are scattered throughout the level, second is by finding a pitstop, and third is by earning points by doing tricks of ramps. The tricks are pretty simple.
Up - backflip, Down - frontflip, Right - right spin, Left - left spin, Diagnol - mixture of a spin and flip. You can do multiple tricks, but you won't get as many points if you don't land good. One thing people have been complaining about is the turning, but when I got it, I thought it wasn't bad at all, if anything it was fun. All you do is hold down the R or L button depedning on which way you turning. If you hold it down long enough, you'll boost. It is hard to turn sharp corners, but if everything in racing games were easy, where would the competition be.
The dificulty is surprisingly more hard than Shadow the Hedgehog or Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. You might find yourself getting frustrated while playing in story mode, but that's just how racing games are. The main characters are here. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Also some new characters who call themselves the Babylon Rogues. There are some Unlockables like Shadow, Rouge, Cream, Robot 1 and 2, and others. Another thing is that you don't just race hover boards, but also motorcycles and and hover-skate type like Shadow the Hedgehog.

Overall:
Controls: 9
They're underrated from what I've heard

Camera: 10
Never had a problem

Graphics: 10
I normally wouldn't give a 10 for this. There are some areas that lack geometric detail, but when you're going fast, you won't even notice it. Plus the scenery and the characters graphics make up for it. Also some good cutscene graphics

Level Design: 9
Could be better, but still not bad at all

Voice Acting: 7
The voices are from the Sonic X show on FOX, So some of the voices like Sonic are fine, but Tails' voice is just to young

Soundtrack: 9.5
A techno-ish thing. Not bad, and it's at a low volume during racing

Replay Value: 9.5
Let's you play every level against CPU, one of your friends, or just by yourself

The Game: 9.5
It really averages out to a 9.1, but I gave it extra because it came with a Sonic X DVD

Overall, I was surprised with how good this game was. Die-hard sonic fans will give it 5 out of 5 stars. People who are just looking for something to do will give it 4 stars, and people who have dedicated their life to videogames and only spend their money on them will give it 3 stars, but I loved it. This game is alot better than Shadow The Hedgehog, and Sega doesn't lie when they said that this game has adrenaline, so I recommend Sonic Riders.

Lets go tails
